Once you have prepped your apples, leave them to dry on a paper towel. Next heat the vegetable oil in a small pot. Sift the flour and cocoa powder into a dry bowl and in a separate bowl begin to whisk whites, sugar, and salt. Then combine the beer, yolk, and oil for the batter and add this slowly to the dry ingredients bowl. Mix with a whisk so there are no lumps. Continue whisking meringue in your other bowl until slightly stiff then fold into the other mix until smooth.
